Hudson Victim -- Murdered by His Own Gun?

Jason HudsonOne of the victims in the Hudson murder case could have been shot to death by his own weapon.

Jennifer Hudson's brother Jason owned a gun that may have been identical to the murder weapon, according to law enforcement sources and neighbors who spoke with the Chicago Tribune.

According to those sources, Jason said the gun had been stolen from the family home -- the crime scene -- a few months ago.

Law enforcement sources are now investigating whether the gun used in the Hudson triple murders once belonged to Jason Hudson.

Jason's brother-in-law, William Balfour is the suspect in the case.

31. this is sad: But everything we do in life affects everything, what we do,say,the people we encounter,live with,talk too,have relationships with. it is universal law.. if people would take the time and think about descions they make this world would have less tradgey.a child has paid with his life because of the company that was kept. this is the sad part.

37. Interesting......but accoring to reports that same gun was STOLEN from a guy in Michiagn awile back...So which is it.......It was a stolen gun fron a guyn in Michigan, end uo in Jason Hudson;s hands and was stolen yet again???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? Sad reality is the only truth there seems to be is that all 3 are actually dead......,Why are the Chicago police dragging their feet on this........Something isn't adding up.......Maybe after all this was a drug thing gone bad........Jason and Julia and Julians dad were arrest in a drug raid at that house in 2002................All gang banger! True victim here is that little boy Julian....he was born into a gang banging family...how sad....

38. The headline used for this article by the author exemplifies what is wrong with today's media. Jason Hudson was not murdered BY his own gun. He was murdered by someone who was perhaps USING his own gun. Or if you prefer, he was shot WITH his own gun. He was shot BY his own gun just makes the writer sound stupid. If the professionals are this ignorant on just how to properly communicate, why are they still working. Are there not enough talented writers out there that can convey an idea with clarity and not so sloppily to replace them with?

39. Chicago really sounds like Hell on earth. Take a look at WBBM Chicago's overview of the violent crimes that have occurred there so far this weekend.

40. I think O.J. had sumthin to do with it!
The theory is about as realistic as some of these posts.

41. This gets sadder and sadder. I'd rather the CPD take their time and get it right than announce a quick arrest just to satisfy the public. There's no rush now.

I still can't believe Julia was involved. If it was William, I think he had help. I would like to think he couldn't have killed Julian.

43. I want in on the pool. I guess 22 paul barers all together.

44. Perhaps Julia was still in love with William and got into a heated argument with her mother and brother over their relationship. Julia's mother didn't approve of William, evidentally. Could Julia'a mother been threatening to take the child away from her if she continued associating with him or could she have been threatening to report him to his parole agent for something that would insure he'd be returned to prison?

Where was Julia at the time of the murders? Does she have an alibi? Has she offered to take a lie detector test?

45. "I guess 22 paul barers all together"

Why would you do that to Paul? Maybe he likes his clothes.
